Quotes by Rachel Stephens Showman  (?)

“She informed me that anything hand written would remain private, but anything typed- newspaper, cartoons, magazine articles- were to be read aloud by the receiving soldier. Each envelope garnered her 10 push-ups, so I was to be concise in my messaging. Immediately, I went shopping for romance novels…. A couple times a week I dutifully scoured through my stack of romance novels and ripped out the pages that I found particularly energetic. In individual envelopes, I sent off a couple dozen sex scenes during the course of her basic training. During the months following her basic, I hid from her and her massive biceps.”

“I think it was his laugh that first attracted me.... Damn, that laugh. It wasn't a guffaw but certainly more than a chuckle. It was a sound reminiscent of the mating call of a wild boar, if boars even have one.”

“As soon as our fellas were out of earshot, her smile dropped. She told me that no, she would not be taking my email address.... I didn't understand army culture, but I understood bitch, so I walked away.”

“For this one night, I saw with my own eyes the balance, the madness, the respect, the damage, the love, the intensity, and the bond these soldiers share as soldiers.”
Rachel Stephens Showman, Those Ducks Look Aggressive

“As an active-duty spouse, my role is to help lessen that divide between civilian and military by relaying my story. My story isn't better or worse than the soldier's narrative. It's not tougher or more dramatic. My story is a window. I'm inviting you to look inside.”
